Lou

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Kitten · 8 months

I'm Lou and I'm a cat lady about 8 months old. As a kitten, I came to the animal shelter, and all I want now is to finally get my own home, but somehow no one has wanted me yet. I'm actually super cuddly and a real snuggle bunny, but on tight spaces or with too many cats around me, I can also turn into a bit of a grump. I'd prefer a home as a single cat (or with lots of space to myself and some roam time). This cat needs outdoor access.

DE·Show original

Ich heiße Lou und bin eine ca. 8 Monate alte Katzenlady. Als junges Kitten kam ich ins Tierheim und wünsche mir nun nichts mehr als endlich ein eigenes Zuhause zubekommen, aber irgendwie wollte mich bisher niemand. Eigentlich bin ich super lieb und eine echte Schmusetante, aber auf zu engem Raum bzw. mit zu vielen Katzen um mich herum, kann ich auch mal zum Biest werden. Am liebsten wäre mir ein Zuhause als Einzelkatze (oder mit viel Platz um sich aus dem Weg zu gehen) und Freigang.

About Lou

What life with Lou looks like

Lou is a puppy/kitten mixed breed cat waiting at Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. in Gunzenhausen.

Kittens are tiny chaos engines for about six months and then mellow rapidly. They need two scheduled feedings, a litter box per cat plus one extra, and somewhere high to climb. Spay/neuter happens around six months — most shelters arrange this before adoption.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Lou, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Lou?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Lou on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Lou if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Lou already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Lou isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierschutzverein Gunzenhausen und Umgebung e.V. early rather than rehoming privately; they know Lou and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
